Disruption in online video streaming on YouTube.
Monday: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has alleged that the government is trying to blackout the fundraising telethon the previous night.
Imran Khan had organized a telethon in an attempt to raise funds for the victims of the disastrous floods due to monsoon rains. However, he later claimed that the government had tried to blackout and made several attempts to disrupt the live transmission of the telethon.
Khan claimed in a Tweet that, “Imported govt of cabal of crooks & their handlers stooped to new lows last night when they tried to blackout my telethon for flood relief fund raising. First, they pressured channels not to air telethon. When some channels continued to air telethon, they threatened cable operators.”
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman alleged that TV channels and media were pressured “not to air the telethon” and the cable operators that continued the broadcast were in an attempt to merely target him and his party. Imran said that such actions were thereby “denying fundraising to aid flood victims”.
Reports have also emerged of disruptions in online video streaming platform YouTube services.
